Virat Kohli, former captain of the Indian cricket team, shared an inspiring video of his gym workout as he prepares for the upcoming West Indies tour. Known for his exceptional fitness, Kohli is determined to get in shape before returning to the cricket field.
India is set to face West Indies in a series comprising two Tests, three ODIs, and five T20s, starting from July 12. Kohli is expected to play in the Test series and ODIs against the rivals. He took to Twitter to share video clips of his workout session along with a mirror selfie, captioned “Look for excuses or look to get better.”
The post has gone viral, garnering over 407K views, 30.7K likes, 3207 retweets, and various responses from individuals. Twitter users praised his passion and hard work, with one user calling him the “King of Cricket & Fitness” and another labeling him a “Fitness freak.”
In addition to his rigorous training, Kohli was recently seen spending quality spiritual time with his wife Anushka in London. They attended a Kirtan by Krishna Das, a renowned American vocalist known for his popular Hindu devotional songs.
On the work front, Kohli was part of the Indian squad that played the ICC World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval, London. However, he had a below-par performance with scores of 14 and 49. India lost the contest by 209 runs. Kohli has had a lack of consistency in his batting in recent times, which led to him losing his place at the top of the ‘Fab Four’ in Tests.
In his Test career so far, Kohli has scored 8,479 runs in 109 matches, with an average of 48.72. He has 28 centuries and 28 fifties to his name, with his highest score being 186.
